The Upper Mustang Helicopter Tour offers an exclusive and unforgettable journey into one of Nepal’s most culturally preserved and remote regions. Located near the Nepal–Tibet (China) border, Upper Mustang was once a forbidden kingdom and still requires a special permit costing USD 500 per person to enter. Its dramatic, high-altitude desert landscape closely resembles the Tibetan plateau, and its ancient Buddhist culture remains largely untouched by modern development. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore this hidden gem but don't have the time for a long trek or overland journey.

The tour begins with a helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, then continues to Jomsom, and finally to Lo-Manthang, the historic walled capital of Upper Mustang. The flight offers stunning views of the Kaligandaki River Valley and iconic Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri. In Lo-Manthang, you'll land and have time to explore its traditional stone houses, centuries-old monasteries, and Tibetan-influenced culture before returning to Kathmandu. The region’s isolated location and restricted access make this helicopter tour a rare and privileged experience.

The helicopter accommodates up to 5 passengers plus the pilot, with a maximum weight limit of 500 kg, and the total duration of the tour is approximately 4 hours. The Upper Mustang Helicopter Tour price varies depending on group size and includes private transfers, all taxes, and logistics. The special permit fee (USD 500 per person) is mandatory and typically added to the tour cost. If you’re seeking a luxurious, time-efficient way to explore one of Nepal’s most legendary regions, this helicopter tour offers the perfect opportunity to turn your Himalayan dream into reality.
